On the recordDecember 7, 2005
it was a Sunday morning on December 7, 1941, and the planes came down and Pearl Harbor entered the history of infamy in the United States of America. Days later, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt would use that term from this very podium in describing the holocaust of that day. But from the tragedy of Pearl Harbor came a galvanized Nation that rose as one man to confront imperial Japan and Nazi and Fascist Europe. I was here on another morning such as that, another clear day when the planes came down and the holocaust of September 11, as December 7, galvanized a Nation. Let us learn from the Greatest Generation that saw the horror of our enemies at Pearl Harbor. Let us allow September 11 to galvanize our resolve in the war on terror. Complete the mission as our President has challenged our Nation to do. ____________________
